- Although I am no longer on the AMOS Mailing list, I thought you might be
- interested in the following info.
-
- Audio tracks on CDs will not be playable on a standard CD player unless
- they are written first. I think I discussed this earlier, but I spoke to
- many people for my own knowledge and they all said the same thing. On a
- Computer CD player it does not matter, but in a Car stereor, Stack system,
- Boom Box, etc. If the audio tracks are not first it will be unplayable on
- them.
-
- So when doing music audio tracks lay them down first. Then do the data
- tracks. It will be safer as some newer non computer CD players may void
- this statement, but it is known that this is the preferred method.
